    Razor: Schick G8 injector
    Brush: Omega Hi synthetic
    Lather: Route 66 Rum Runner

    Nice shave this morning with Route 66 Rum Runner. The Schick G8 was really smooth. Shiny, slick, and bountiful lather with the Omega synthetic brush. One pass is all I needed after a close shave yesterday. Nice result!

    Have a great day!

    Well, here's the report of my first DE razor shave in modern times:

    The Stirling Barbershop soap felt real good after application.. Unfortunately, I didn't get the close shave with the Gillette Slim that I'd hoped for. This could have been due to setting the power to low (I had it at 3 with 1 being mild, 9 being strongest). I went one pass with the Slim, then decided to return to the disposeABLE for the 2nd pass. That was better. But I won't give up hope on the Slim..will try it again tomorrow at 4. The Clubman A.S. was/is a great compliment to the Stirling Barbershop soap.

    Str8 Shaver Well-Known Member

    Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
    Pre shave - Proraso
    Razor – Barbaros TR-1
    Blade – Astra S/P
    Brush - 'El Monstruo' (Romera Manchurian 30/50 Fan)
    Soap – Through the Fire Fine Craft – Angel’s Share
    Post - Cold water rinse, Witch Hazel, Trevarno Revitalising Face Oil

    'El Monstruo'+Angel’s Share began what promised to be a stellar shave, only to be dashed by the Astra, which was past its prime, and provided a very unpleasant shave with the TR-1.

    PickledNorthern Fabulous, the unicorn

    Just remember to ride the cap for a while until you find a setting that works, and then you can settle on what angle works best for you. Having a single fixed blade is going to put the pivot factor of your Sensor on you. I know that when I started, I was going too steep, and scraping too much.
